WHERE'S THE FIRE?
Professors Write, Edit Four Books
Four books covering a wide range of topics including accounting, engineering, mathematics and organic chemistry were published recently by USC professors.
The books are “Accounting,” co-authored by Dr. Walter B. Meigs, professor of accounting; “Fluid Mechanics,” by Dr. Raymond C. Binder, professor of mechanical engineering; “Analytic Geometry and Calculus,” by Dr. Paul A. White, head of the department of mathematics; and “Organic Sulfur Compounds,” edited by Dr. Norman Kharasch, professor of chemistry.
Widely Used
Dr. Meigs’ book published by Mc-Graw-Hill was written in cooperation with Dr. Charles E. Johnson of the University of Oregon. The work includes a complete coverage of the basic procedures of accounting.
“Fluid Mechanics," published by Prentice-Hall, is already being used in more than 40 per cent of the engineering schools in the United States.
“The new revised edition was made when its use indicated that more advanced material was required at the junior and senior level,” Dr. Binder said.
Textbooks
Dr. White’s 900-page textbook is the result of a three-year collaboration with L. J. Adams, chairman of the mathematics department of Santa Monica City College. The book was published by Oxford Press, New York.
The textbook contains an introduction of calculus for study in the first half of the freshman year and is used by 25 (Continued on Page 2)

Iranian Student Garners Alumni Association Award
A graduate of the School of i pointed United Nations Social
Social Work has become the first foreign student to receive an award of merit from the USC Alumni Association.
Satarah Farman-Farmaian, flew from Iran to accept the award at the annual Alumni Day Luncheon Saturday. The honor was given in recognition her establishment of a school to train social workers in her country.
Miss F a r m a n-Farmaian’s school, set up in a rented house in 1958, has trained 55 social workers. She is currently supervising the construction i new campus in Teheran which will include a student union and dormitory patterned after those at USC.
Welfare Worker The daughter of a former prime minister of Iran, Miss Farman-Farmaian earned her bachelor's degree in social work in 1946 and her master’s degree in 1948. She worked for several years following her graduation in social agencies in Los Angeles. She was ap-
School Adds New Major In Education
Anew departmental major leading to the PhD or EdP in education of exceptional children has been approved by the School of Education faculty and the University Curriculum Committee.
Dr. E. Paul Benoit. Director of the Jewish Foundation for Retarded Children, will lecture as a part of the new program. Visiting instructors also will be invited to lecture.
Sizeable Problem "Mental retardation is a very sizeable problem in the United States and it is important that collegiate training be available for those wishing to work in this field,” Dr. Benoit said.
He pointed out that President Kennedy recently said approximately 5 million people in this country are retarded.
“It strikes those least able t o protect themselves—o u r children. It affects by its nature their relationships to all members of their families and their friends,” the president said. “Thus mental retardation is a serious personal matter to at least one out of every 12 persons.”
Noted Author
Dr. Benoit is the author of more than 30 articles and research studies concerned with the mental retardation problem. One of his papers was “The Relavance of Hebb’s Theory of the Organization of Behavior to Educational research on the Mentally Retarded."
He has lectured on the mentally retarded at the Universi-t i e s of Illinois, Delaware. Maryland and Virginia. Hp formerly served as a consultant tc the studies staff of the White House Conference on Children and Youth.
Undergraduate and graduate students interested in participating in the new program contact Dr. James F.
Welfare Advisor to Iran in 1954.
“I learned all I kne-.v from my education at USC,” she said. "I learned of your system of democracy and the right of the individual for better living. This is the most important help that the United States could give to raise the standard of living in developing! countries.”
Great Need The number of Iranian social workers is pitifully small in view of the need, she said. In the entire nation there are only two people who work with the families of prisoners, she pointed out.
.> "We have been able to see the results of our work each day,” she commented. “Social workers have been assigned to orphanages, prisons, and hospitals. A program for rehabilitating beggars has begun. Social legislation is advancing.” The social workers have obtained the backing of the Iranian government, she noted. Laws on social problems have been made and juvenile courts have been created.
Improved Laws “Today we are working on improved adoption laws, regulation of community development and rural welfare,” the social worker said.
“The theory and practice of social work I learned at USC has been of invaluable help to me although the theory requires modification when applied in Iran,” she said.
Miss Farman-F armaian serves on the boards of various Iranian social welfare
agencies, including orphanages, the Society for the Protection of Prisoners and is Advisor to the Ministry of Interior for the Rehabilitation of Beggars.
“My work has been well accepted in m,y country in spite of the fact that I am a woman in a country just throwing off customs repressing women,” she said.
Distinguished Recipients
Miss Farman-Farmaian joins a list of alumni award recipients that includes Mrs. Richard M. Nixon, wife of the former U.S. Vice President; John Abel, president of the American Dental Association; Robert E. Brooker, president of Montgomery Ward & Co.; and

Instructor To Discuss Miller Book
The explosive “Tropic of Cancer’’ will be discussed tonight at 7 in Stonier Hall by English instructor James H. Durbin.
Steve Meier's, Stonier program chairman, said the English instructor will try to answer the question, ‘Do we have the right to read “Tropic of Cancer”?’ in his talk.
Earlier this year Durbin condemned the recent obscenity trial of Henry Miller’s novel because the court could not truthfully determine if the book was injurious to reader’s minds.
“We know what physical harm is, and we can measure it, for our physical constitutions are similar,” he said. “But do we know what injures the mind? Do we feel so in secure that we should be .disturbed by anything that is likely to unsettle us.”
Durbin explained that the differences between literature and pornography is a difference in intent.
"A work that is pornographic is intended to promote lewd and licentious actions,” he explained. “Literature, however, is passive; it is only trying to present a situation.”
Durbin asserted that

WHERE'S THE FIRE?
Professors Write, Edit Four Books
Four books covering a wide range of topics including accounting, engineering, mathematics and organic chemistry were published recently by USC professors.
The books are “Accounting,” co-authored by Dr. Walter B. Meigs, professor of accounting; “Fluid Mechanics,” by Dr. Raymond C. Binder, professor of mechanical engineering; “Analytic Geometry and Calculus,” by Dr. Paul A.

School Adds New Major In Education
Anew departmental major leading to the PhD or EdP in education of exceptional children has been approved by the School of Education faculty and the University Curriculum Committee.
Dr. E. Paul Benoit. Director of the Jewish Foundation for Retarded Children, will lecture as a part of the new program. Visiting instructors also will be invited to lecture.
Sizeable Problem "Mental retardation is a very sizeable problem in the United States and it is important that collegiate training be available for those wishing to work in this field,” Dr. Benoit said.
He pointed out that President Kennedy recently said approximately 5 million people in this country are retarded.
“It strikes those least able t o protect themselves—o u r children. It affects by its nature their relationships to all members of their families and their friends,” the president said. “Thus mental retardation is a serious personal matter to at least one out of every 12 persons.”
Noted Author
Dr. Benoit is the author of more than 30 articles and research studies concerned with the mental retardation problem. One of his papers was “The Relavance of Hebb’s Theory of the Organization of Behavior to Educational research on the Mentally Retarded."
He has lectured on the mentally retarded at the Universi-t i e s of Illinois, Delaware. Maryland and Virginia. Hp formerly served as a consultant tc the studies staff of the White House Conference on Children and Youth.
